NEWSPAPER AD: last minute push: You in or out??

[Shatterhand]

I think I liked it better when it just said, "We Are Ron Paul" at the top.

Do you need everyone's permission in the mosaic to make this ad?

Do you need everyone's permission in the mosaic to make this ad?

No. They gave their permission when they uploaded their photos.

 

[LibertyEagle]

We need more money. Please donate, if you can.

 

[trispear]

Up to $970 now, if I calculated right.

I'll add $30 to the pot to make it $1000 even.

As quoted previously, $1300 for a half-page ad, and $2500 for a full page ad. If it looks like we're close to financing a full page ad, I'll double my $30 to $60.

I won't be in until Wednesday night so be patient when contacting me.

 

[Shatterhand]

Okay, I'm in for $25!

Still, I like it better, "We Are Ron Paul"

 

[thomj76]

Here I got this one uploaded...

My personal thoughts about the caption is that it needs to invite others to stand up as We, the People. Let me clearly state however, that the work I did tonight was to help facilitate action towards the final project, and to help stimulate pledges while the project evolves. People sharing gifts in a positive way, it's what life should be all about.

 

[RevolutionSD]

I'll go $25. Where are we sending this $$?

 

[thomj76]

Bump...This is a hot ACTION Item. Please can someone sticky this for the next couple days?

Thanks...

Lord Xar,

If we still need more pledges you might consider leaving an impassioned plea on the Daily Paul under the ad in the comments section. You already have a proven track record with the radio ad. Maybe that would help with getting more pledges.

 

[Lord Xar]

Here are some ideas... BIG LOAD TIME... Sorry..
Just throwing ideas out there, to see what sticks...

Example 1

Example 2

? when in doubt, ALWAYS read the first thread post

 

[Shatterhand]

I like example 1 better. I don't like covering up a part of the mosaic in example 2.

Just some feedback.

 

[jabbott0]

I can pitch in $100 if you still need it -- just send a private msg to remind me to PayPal it to you.

 

[goldenequity]

More than a thousand?

Someone suggested a goodie in the other thread.

We the people, support Ron Paul.

bottom: vote for ron paul at the ames straw poll

I agree with the above concept (or something like it)

Saying "more than a thousand" doesn't sound like much support....
it's a "limiting" phrase that doesn't come across as impressive.

'We The People' is broad and has more/better impact (imo)

 

[Spirit of '76]

Now we're cookin' with gas!

Xar, I like your first concept. Good layout and use of color.

I agree that the second one's not so good since it covers up part of the mosaic.



thomj76, those look good. My only thought is that the image itself is a bit small. It's hard to make out the individual pics at all. I really think the mosaic should be the main focus of the ad, with just enough text to make it clear who the picture represents.


As for the part about cutting out the "more than a thousand" in my prototype, you guys are absolutely right. I'll rework it and post something up later today.

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

I like the first one in your pair.

We really should get a full page if possible, folks. Otherwise it's going to be hard to see the pictures. If it just looks like a funky pixilated mosaic, well eh. Newsprint dpi isn't all that great. Does anyone have the ability to test print with whatever dpi it is they use?

 

[Scribbler de Stebbing]

And although the first one is fine, I'd love "We are Ron Paul" to be the big font in the black box, and "Ron Paul for President" were you now have "We are Ron Paul; We are Americans." Besides, it's a sentence splice.

 

[jason43]

I can throw in $20 on Friday.

 

[Dan Klaus]

what's the status on this? I'm in for $25..

 

[LibertyEagle]

I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, so this may be off, but I came up with $1175. So, we're 125 off from a 1/2 page ad, and about 1K off from a full page ad.
